Ubisoft Excited To Let You Know Prince Of Persia Remake Is Still Years Away (kotaku.com)

During today’s Ubisoft Summer Game Fest showcase, the publisher took a moment to acknowledge that, yes, its long-in-development and oft-delayed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake is still being made. But if you wanted to play it soon…bad news. It won’t be out until sometime in 2026....

Remarks by President Biden on Securing Our Border (www.whitehouse.gov)

Four months ago, after weeks of intense negotiation between my staff and Democrats and Republicans, we came to a clear — clear bipartisan deal that was the strongest border security agreement in decades. But then Republicans in Congress — not all, but — walked away from it. Why? Because Donald Trump told them to. He told...

IndustryStandard,

These are the people that went from the biggest Commie haters to liking Russia the second the Democrats opposed Russia.

Republicans will take a more extreme or opposite position of the Democrats. It is impossible to appease to them.

Report: Warner Bros. Execs Thought Suicide Squad Would Make A Ton Of Money Despite Development Woes (kotaku.com)

Anyone who played Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could probably guess that something went terribly wrong during development. Bloomberg now reports that the multiplayer bomb from a studio beloved for its single-player Batman: Arkham games was plagued by several issues leading up to its repeatedly delayed launch....

IndustryStandard,

So I am assuming that everyone here enthusiastically posts pro Trump posts all day right?

This is blatant censorship.

IndustryStandard,

We have negative posts on here when Trump as much as farts. If there is anything bad faith it is claiming that there is a balance in positive and negative posts about Trump.

IndustryStandard,

He admitted he disliked Biden. That does not make him a propagandist.

IndustryStandard,

When people only post negative things about Trump what is the reason?

IndustryStandard,

Selling bulletproof vests and Toyota Hilluxes to Boko Haram wouldn’t fly either

New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters (kotaku.com)

Things aren’t looking good for me. I’m a few levels into Selaco, a new FPS out now on Steam, and I’m stuck behind a bar as a group of sci-fi soldiers unload their rifles and shotguns into my hiding spot. I’m also low on health. So yeah, a bad spot to be in. I take a deep breath and try something....

IndustryStandard,

We are reading the same story every week now.

Hamas accepts a permanent ceasefire and Israel refuses. They should change up the script a bit.

IndustryStandard,

My understanding is that there has not been a ceasefire for a very long time. But I might be wrong if so please correct me.

State Department official resigns after Biden administration says Israel not blocking Gaza aid (www.middleeasteye.net)

A career State Department official resigned from her post on Tuesday, saying she could no longer work for the Biden administration after it released a report concluding that Israel was not preventing the flow of aid to Gaza....

IndustryStandard,

Are you talking about the state department losing Biden the election? It would be amazing if they stopped lying to cover for Israel. That would increase Bidens chances of winning.

IndustryStandard,

This is a huge article. A few highlights:

A hand-delivered threat

On 16 January 2015, within weeks of Palestine joining, Bensouda opened a preliminary examination into what in the legalese of the court was called “the situation in Palestine”. The following month, two men who had managed to obtain the prosecutor’s private address turned up at her home in The Hague.

Sources familiar with the incident said the men declined to identify themselves when they arrived, but said they wanted to hand-deliver a letter to Bensouda on behalf of an unknown German woman who wanted to thank her. The envelope contained hundreds of dollars in cash and a note with an Israeli phone number.

Hacked emails and monitored calls

“If Fatou Bensouda spoke to any person in the West Bank or Gaza, then that phone call would enter [intercept] systems,” one source said. Another said there was no hesitation internally over spying on the prosecutor, adding: “With Bensouda, she’s black and African, so who cares?”

Officials also became aware of specific threats against a prominent Palestinian NGO, Al-Haq, which was one of several Palestinian human rights groups that frequently submitted information to the ICC inquiry, often in lengthy documents detailing incidents it wanted the prosecutor to consider. The Palestinian Authority submitted similar dossiers.

Such documents often contained sensitive information such as testimony from potential witnesses. Al-Haq’s submissions are also understood to have linked specific allegations of Rome statute crimes to senior officials, including chiefs of the IDF, directors of the Shin Bet, and defence ministers such as Benny Gantz.

Years later, after the ICC had opened a full investigation into the Palestine case, Gantz designated Al-Haq and five other Palestinian rights groups as “terrorist organisations”, a label that was rejected by multiple European states and later found by the CIA to be unsupported by evidence. The organisations said the designations were a “targeted assault” against those most actively engaging with the ICC.

IndustryStandard,

There many that spoke up about Israel before October. Warning us that Israel is what we can all see it is right now. We thought they were exaggerating. In hindsight they might have been too conservative in their accusations

IndustryStandard,

Actually if they want a chance they will go with a wild card because they already know what Biden would do.

IndustryStandard,

AIPAC operates openly it isn’t a conspiracy.

The original questioner fails to realize that it isn’t after being sworn in that they pledge support for Israel. It is before being sworn in.

Biden says ICC move on arrest warrants for Israeli leaders "outrageous" (www.reuters.com)

Despite polls, Biden aides insist Gaza campus protests will not hurt reelection bid (www.reuters.com)

WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel’s offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November’s election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president’s...

IndustryStandard,

I had to look up the date of TOS it aired 1966–1969 during the Vietnam war.

The lesson to be learnt here is that stopping the Vietnam war meant the Nazis would take over the world.

The anti-war sentiment won in 1973. That is year the Nazis and communists took over America and the whole world.

And that’s all the fault of college kids protesting against the Vietnam war.

IndustryStandard,

I am substituting the Nazis for the Soviets as an example.

In 1970 the argument was that if America pulled out of Vietnam the commies would take over the world.

For every time 1930 is used as an excuse to promote war, a lot of pointless wars have been lost without dr. Evil taking over the world.

IndustryStandard,

You mean “they did it first” doesn’t hold up in international court?

IndustryStandard,

All headlines say Netanyahu and Hamas leaders, why are they casually glossing over Gallant?

‘Only Hamas can defend us’: Israeli raids and Fatah failures boost support in West Bank (www.theguardian.com)

Khalil, a shy 21-year-old whose name has been changed, was arrested in a pre-dawn raid last October for his allegiance to Hamas. But when Israeli forces smashed through the door of his family home, they didn’t tell him why they were detaining him. He was imprisoned for six months without charge, in conditions he described as...

IndustryStandard,

Even when not resisting nothing changes for the Palestinians in the west bank. When all peaceful means have been exhausted and we continue to support Israel raiding the west bank despite their violations, why would these Palestinians believe that they should just keep telling the teacher that the bully is hitting them? They must hit back sooner or later.

It escalated in October but even shortly before there were regular clashes.

Israel “Likely” Used U.S.-Supplied Weapons in Violation of International Law. That’s OK, Though, State Department Says. (theintercept.com)

In a long-awaited report, the State Department lays out numerous suspected international humanitarian violations by Israel in its war on Gaza, yet suggests no changes in policy or consequences....

IndustryStandard,

I do not understand this either

I read " yes Israel committed war crimes but also we are not sure if Israel committed war crimes."

IndustryStandard,

At what point do we drop the designation of settlers and just say Israel did it?

Conservative Plan Calls for Dozens of Executions if Trump Wins (www.thedailybeast.com)

A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40...

IndustryStandard, (edited )

The post headline is very dramatic but it just implies executing death row inmates not every American in existence.
